pastor

It seems awfully unspiritual to talk about the pastor salary, especially during the candidating process. But our rejection of greediness does not constitute a vow of poverty. Here are a few thoughts, especially if you’re considering a pastoral transition.

As pastors, one way we can emulate the King is to give ourselves away in the service of other pastors. That, too, is pastoral ministry.

"Whatever our status (single, married, parent, widowed, divorced), this is the day that the Lord has made."

Advent is the season where we prepare our hearts for worshiping on Christmas Day as we celebrate the birth of our Lord Jesus.

"I recommend that all full-time pastors and staff receive a three-month paid sabbatical every six or seven years."

It is important that the senior leader goes “all in” and completely surrenders to his understanding of God’s Church Merger Plan.

The arrogant pastor. Even writing an aticle on this almost guarantees comments about pots and kettles. I'm as human as you are. And if we are all honest with ourselves, we would admit that it is a struggle for each of us in some way. 

Getting prayer into your church means building prayer into the DNA of a congregation.
